Brown sugar, dates and pecans in loaf form? Sign me up! This loaf cake is chock-full of ingredients I love. Out of character, yet out of necessity...and probably a bit of laziness I subbed two items this week. I exchanged Greek yogurt for cream cheese and pecans for walnuts.
This date-nut loaf was full of beautiful subtly flavors. The hint of pure almond extract paired perfectly with the nuttiness of the pecans. This cake was super moist and those things we call dates transformed into soft bites of brown sugar deliciousness.

yum, yours looks delicious!! I subbed in strawberries, but the dates really sound fabulous! May have to make this again!!!
It was great, right?! I used pecans too- they always seem to be the nut I have around the house.
I love your description of this tasty bread/cake. It was delicious.
Have a great day.
Oh, man. I think I need to try to make a GF version of this bread. I am in love with dates.
Your loaf looks positively delicious. Great photos too.
I agree with you: I liked everything about this loaf. I used pecans as well and loved the dates.

i was wondering if i could sub something for the cream cheese, but in the end, i went out and got a packet. great color on your loaf!
This looks divine. I think I'm going to call it a date-nut bread so I can justify eating it more often!
